Well done Pastor MacArthur #Repost from @churchhopperstv Los Angeles County-based Grace Community Church ignited controversy last month for announcing they would begin holding indoor gatherings in defiance of Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom's coronavirus-related restrictions. On the 14th of August, a judge handed the prominent church a major legal victory. #johnmacarthur #gracecommunitychurch #churchnews #californianchurches https://www.theblaze.com/news/judge-hands-california-church-major-legal-victory-after-pastor-defiantly-restarts-indoor-gatherings https://www.instagram.com/p/CD70Ulol6su/?igshid=1bbaocue0rjff

An evangelical church network in California will ignore Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom's executive prohibitions this month, opening sanctuary doors for communal worship despite the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. According to Fox News, California Church United, representing roughly 3,000 churches and 2.5 million congregants statewide, announced Thursday that it will return to conducting in-person services by Pentecost on May 31 rather than await the third phase of planned societal reopening. Newsom, the first governor to introduce a statewide executive stay-at-home order, finally pushed California into Phase 2 of its reopening effort on Friday, allowing retailers to recommence on-site sales under substantial health and capacity restrictions, KABC-TV reported. Newsom did not, however, definitively indicate when the "Phase 3" reintroduction of public dining and in-person church services might come -- and that left local church leaders unwilling to cooperate. "Our churches are part of the answer, not part of the problem,” Water of Life Community Church senior pastor Danny Carroll said. “We're an essential part of this whole journey and we've been bypassed ... kicked to the curb and deemed nonessential." #church #californianchurches #churchnews https://www.wnd.com/2020/05/3000-california-churches-announce-will-defy-governors-order-resume-services/?utm_source=Facebook&utm_medium=PostTopSharingButtons&utm_campaign=websitesharingbuttons https://www.instagram.com/p/CCpwUz1Fsuo/?igshid=1irsosk8gzws9
